A one-pot reductive amination of aldehydes and ketones with amines using alpha-picoline-borane as a reducing agent is described. The reaction has been carried out in Wolf, in H2O, and in neat conditions in the presence of small amounts of AcOH. This is a highly efficient and mild procedure that is applicable for a wide variety of substrates. In particular, this is the first successful demonstration that this type of reaction can be carried out in water and in neat conditions. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

[GRAPHICS]The first direct reductive amination of mucochloric acid (1) has been accomplished. Reaction of 1 with various alkyl, aryl, and benzylamines, followed by reduction in the same pot, provides an efficient method of obtaining N-benzyl-3,4-dichloro-1,5-dihydro-pyrrol-2-one and N-aryl (or alkyl)-3,4-dichloro-1,5-dihydro-pyrrol-2-ones.
